Canadian Spaceflight History

Canada has played an important role in space exploration since the 1960s, primarily through satellite technology and robotics. Notably, Canadian engineers developed the Canadarm, a robotic arm used on the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, showcasing expertise in robotics and space systems. Canada's space efforts are coordinated by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), which collaborates internationally and supports scientific research, satellite communications, and Earth monitoring. While Canada has not launched its own crewed spacecraft, it continues to contribute advanced technology and expertise, strengthening its position in the global space community.
